In the Driver's Seat

Eric Hamilton is used to getting dirty. He’s used to sliding his race car through the turns and throwing up rooster tails as he powers onto the straightaways and watching ruts suddenly appear on the racing surface.

Jason Irwin may not know every inch of the racing surface at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but chances are he can tell you where to find all the rough pavement and pot holes on the 575 or so miles of I-40 between the race track and his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
